UTAH: Now in its 15th year, the latest installment of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty’s signature, award-winning publication – Collections Magazine – was released earlier this month. The Summer 2024 issue marks the 30th edition of Utah’s preeminent real estate magazine as it highlights the best lifestyles, homes and estates throughout the Beehive State. Originally designed as a modest property guide, today Collections has grown into a head-turning, nationally-distributed publication filled with current market data, original editorial content and a selection of Utah’s finest homes and properties. In short, it is a tangible representation of Utah’s luxury real estate leader and their relentless commitment to redefining an industry and the client experience.

“As I reflect back on 15 years of Collections Magazine, I’m filled with pride and gratitude—and a good deal of nostalgia,” said Thomas Wright, CEO and Principal Broker of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty. “This publication has grown alongside our brokerage and it’s such a testament to the hard work and creative vision of our entire team. Collections Magazine embodies our dedication to our neighbors, our communities, and one another.”

Released bi-annually to coincide with the summer and winter seasons, 115,000 copies of Collections Magazine are printed and distributed each edition. They are sent directly to subscriber mailboxes and are available in over 400 physical rack locations across Utah. Copies are also mailed to every Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate in the United States—national distribution ensures maximum reach in today’s evolving industry. Each issue of Collections Magazine epitomizes the passion, professionalism, and integrity behind Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.

This 30th anniversary edition is noteworthy in its exploration into Utah’s national rise to prominence. The Beehive State, long cherished for its unparalleled natural beauty, vibrant communities and high standards of living, is now taking center stage on a national level. Utah continues to boast impressive rankings in overall quality of life and business growth, both benchmarks of excellence. The state is also attracting major sports teams (like the NHL—the Arizona Coyotes have relocated to SLC and renamed the Utah Hockey Club), and top athletes (like Tiger Woods and his TGR Design Firm—currently underway with their first Utah course at Marcella Resort’s Jordanelle Ridge location). Hopeful for Olympic Gold? A major global event has Utah in its sights; with a final vote set for July 24th (Pioneer Day), it’s highly likely that the Beehive State will host the Olympics again in 2034. Utah’s well-deserved notoriety is gaining momentum.

Riding that same wave, golf is having a similar moment in Utah and the sport is also highlighted in this newest issue. Utah’s favorable climate and stunning natural landscapes make the Beehive State well-positioned to become the next big golf destination. Later this year the PGA Tour will make its return to Utah after six decades, youth golf programs across the state are flourishing, memberships at golf-centric communities are in high demand and influential names are publicly attached to local projects and course designs. New luxury golf communities like Wohali* are poised to open private courses and enthusiasts are excited. It’s a great time to be a golf aficionado in Utah as the Beehive State experiences its own modern-day golf renaissance.

Collections Magazine is an award-winning, nationally distributed publication that began its life as a small property guide; 15 years later—driven by innovation, opportunity and a passion for excellence—it has grown into a nationally-acclaimed publication that’s been awarded the Best Print Marketing in the World by Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. “Collections Magazine has transformed into a visual statement and trademark for our brokerage,” said Wright “It’s a piece that showcases our deep commitment to redefining industry expectations alongside the client experience over the last 15 years. I’m grateful for this team and I’m excited to see how we’ll impact the industry in the coming years.”
